Text
How happy is the little Stone (poem 1510)
by Emily Dickinson
How happy is the little Stone
That rambles in the Road alone,
And doesn’t care about Careers
And Exigencies never fears —
Whose Coat of elemental Brown
A passing Universe put on,
And independent as the Sun
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute Decree
In casual simplicity —

Velvet people
A wind like a bugle
The morns are meeker
Clover
Nature, the gentlest mother
A wind like a bugle
The morns are meeker
Clover
Nature, the gentlest mother
